Hi Gary,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for sending us your question! I am so happy to hear you are planning a visit to Walt Disney World Resort next year, I'm sure you are going to have a magical time!
While tickets and reservations for 2022 have not yet been released, It's never too early to begin planning your visit to Walt Disney World Resort. I would recommend checking the
Official Walt Disney World Resort Website and the
Disney Parks Blog for the most up to date information regarding 2022 bookings, typically information is released there first. In the meantime, there are several things you can do to prepare for when the bookings and
Theme Park Tickets become available.
First I would suggest deciding which Theme Parks you would like to visit each day, to help plan for how many days you will need when purchasing your Theme Park Tickets. It will also help when it's time to make your Theme Park Reservation after purchasing your Theme Park Tickets, as you have a clear idea of what Theme Park to book each day. This is important because to enter a Theme Park, guests are required to have both a valid Theme Park Ticket as well as a Park Reservation using the
Park Pass System. Prior to purchasing your Theme Park Tickets I would also suggest checking for availability using the
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar to ensure the Theme Park you wish to visit is available for that date.
From there, my family and I like to make a plan for each day we are in a Theme Park. We look through the attractions in each Theme Park and figure out what are our must do attractions as well as where we would like to dine. I know it's still a long way away, but guests are able to make
Advanced Dining Reservations up to 60 days in advance. I highly recommend making reservations as soon as they become available, reservations are extremely popular and fill up quickly.
In order to pass some time, head over to
planDisney and check out some of the
Panel Extras for some great tips on how to get the family involved in your planning and even tips on what to pack!
I hope you have a wonderful time at Walt Disney World Resort next year Gary. Please let us know if you have any other questions, we are always happy to help.
